Alice helps me discover things about myself and the way I am that I’d never even considered thinking about before. We’ve covered topics like productivity and prioritisation/filtering, advocating for myself at work and in other commitments, life and career goals, doing more of things that bring me joy and less of things that don’t, values and values alignment, and plenty of other intangible things that have generally helped me become more reflective and to get to know myself better.

Coaching has brought me increased levels of self-awareness and an understanding of what I personally value, as well concrete plans for baby steps in the right direction towards living a more values-aligned life.

Alice helps me reflect on things that have happened in my working life and how I’ve approached them, and brings new insight, a different perspective, and lots of thought-provoking questions. I often take away practical ‘homework’ to follow up on after our coaching sessions, and see the benefits of this in my work tasks and relationships. At work I’m often one step ahead of topics that come up in supervision sessions with my line manager, having already discussed them with Alice and figured out ways to improve how I deal with certain things. Alice also helps reflect and validate how I’m feeling and empowers me to advocate for myself at work.

I find it invaluable knowing that Alice is on my side and that I have that space to debrief with her about anything I need to. Alice is an excellent listener and brings just the right balance of questioning and support, while always lifting me up - I really look forward to our sessions and feel a mood boost during and after them too.
